The November 27 issue of the New Yorker has a hilarious P.G. Wodehouse parody by Christopher Buckley. Although you probably have to be a Wodehouse fan to really appreciate it, this humor is, I hope, universal. I laugh out loud (really) every time I think about it. This is destined to become a classic of political humor. I have included a few excerpts below, but do not miss the whole (1 page) freely available article.
Buckley perfectly captures the Wodehouse dialogue:
Jeeves: "As you may recall, sir, I had suggested replacing Mr. Rumsfeld before the election, rather than after."
"Deuced good idea, Jeeves. See to it immediately. Walk him up the scaffold, and no blindfold. That’ll get us a few votes." ...
"If I may, sir?"
"What is it, Jeeves?"
"The election is over."
"Oh. Dash it all, Jeeves, you might have told me."
"I believe there was some mention of it in the newspapers."
"Well, don’t be so mysterious. How’d we do? Another unqualified triumph?"
"Not as satisfactorily as one might have hoped, sir. One might even be tempted to say that we took rather a thumping."
A bit later, Wooster complains about all the democrats lurking about:
"That Pelosi woman. Sat there like a cobra. Froze my blood, Jeeves. Could hardly get up out of my chair." ..... "And that Reid fellow who was with her—good Lord, he could give the Grim Reaper a run for his money. Where do the Democrats find these people, Jeeves? In a funeral parlor?"
The real genius of Buckley is recognizing the Bertie Wooster side of Bush. At first it seems a stretch, but read the whole article and you will see that it hits a perfect note. I know most people on this site see Bush more as Darth Vader, but the good hearted bumbling simpleton Bertie Wooster really does fit.
